Everything Is Too Easy After Maxing My Talents

Chapter 218 The king treats his ministers like dirt, but the ministers treat the king like a bandit

In the May of 7295 in the calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after two months of tug-of-war, hundreds of thousands of Zhenxi troops in the frontier suffered heavy casualties. Even the so-called invincible Zhenxi Pass became more and more crumbling due to the fierce offensive of the Qin army.

Under such circumstances, many honest and kind-hearted scholars in Dazhou wrote letters to Zhou Tianzi admonishing him, wanting Zhou Tianzi to send troops to help the frontier army in the western frontier.

After all, once Zhenxiguan was breached, nearly a million Qin troops would rush in.

In an instant, the entire north and west of the Great Zhou would turn into the worst purgatory in the world.

This result is unacceptable to many readers.

However, most of the documents they submitted were ignored, and even if a few received replies, most of them were perfunctory and procrastinating words from the court.

Seeing that no one in the court paid any attention to him, many scholars suddenly became passionate.

Dang even issued an article pointing at the noses of many princes and nobles and officials of the current dynasty.

After all, many scholars have their own strength of character. Since no one pays attention to their advice, they will spray all the officials in the entire court.

Angrily scolded them as a bunch of treacherous ministers, disregarding the society of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this regard, many officials of the court were silent and did not reply.

After all, this group of students who have lived a good life since they were young have the ability to give advice, but they can't even pass the exam. How can they expect them to understand Da Zhou's current situation?

This time the war was different from any other time in the past. The Great Qin was in full swing. Except for a very small number of troops that frightened the frontier Great Tang, almost the whole army came out.

In the face of such offensives, even Zhenxiguan, which claims to never fall, faced fall several times under its impact.

And the most important thing is that Daqin has not only opened up the front of the West Border, there are hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the North who are attacking swiftly. In other words, the Qin army opened up two huge fronts at the same time on the Dazhou side, and each of them has an absolute advantage.

In this case.

Da Zhou gathered all his forces on the line of Fulong Pass, Fuhu Pass, and Futian Pass to hold on. He only needs to grit his teeth and procrastinate for a while. When the Qin army's momentum is not so strong, everything can be solved easily.

After all, the Qin army is attacking Dazhou in full force at this moment, and the troops behind the Qin State must be extremely empty. The reason why the King of Qin dared to be so decisive and ruthless was that his idea should be to prepare for a quick battle and not give other coveted countries a share of the pie. Opportunity.

On the contrary, after understanding the military plan of the Qin army, as long as there is no large-scale defeat in the Great Zhou Dynasty, relying on the advantages of local operations and shorter supply routes for food and grass, it may be no problem to drag the Qin army for a year or so .

Not even a year or a half.

After mobilizing millions of troops to snipe Da Zhou, Qin's domestic military power is already very empty, and Datang in the south who is also ready to move will never let go of such a good opportunity to attack.

Moreover, once the Qin army on the Eastern Expedition is frustrated, they don't need others to stumbling, and they will make trouble in the country themselves.

To sum up, in the opinion of many officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Zhou Tianzi himself, it is very wise not to send troops to help the Zhenxi Army in the western frontier.

——If rushing to aid the western frontier, not to mention stretching the logistics supply line of the Zhou army, there is a possibility that the Qin army in the north will rush thousands of miles to cut off the food supply line.

Years of wars that have been unable to make ends meet have already consumed a lot of money, food and armor from the Dazhou treasury. It is obviously a very irrational thing to extend the front line at this moment.

Besides, the people in the northwest and the northwest were not Dazhou people at all. They were the people of the Dagan Kingdom five thousand years ago. So what does it matter to them if they die more or less?

On the contrary, it is a good thing from another point of view.

After all, if the number of Zhenxi soldiers died is enough.

It can also consume more vitality of the Qin army, and both lose and lose with the Qin army.

As for the people who died in the war in the Northwest and the Northwest, they can just make room for the increasingly overcrowded Central Plains. After the war is over, without the hindrance of the Zhenxi Army, the imperial court can entrust some nobles in the Central Plains. , To further strengthen Dazhou's dominance over the Northwest and Northwest.

all in all.

No matter how you look at it, leading an army to rescue the Northwest is a loss-making business.

Therefore, the politicians of the entire Great Zhou court chose to be collectively blind, ignoring the disparity in military strength between the Northwest and the Qin Army, and made up their minds to use the troops of the Northwest and the Northwest to consume the strength of the Qin Army.

Only a child would naively talk about right and wrong.

Mature politicians are hard-hearted and only weigh the pros and cons in their eyes.

As for the human tragedy under the pros and cons, as long as it doesn't burn them, what does it matter to them?

After all the dust settles, it's all to be blamed on Qin Jun, since the dead can't speak anyway.

...

Under such circumstances, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court has given up the two places in the northwest, and is determined to fight the Qin army to the death at the three levels of Fulong Fuhu.

It is naturally unrealistic to rely solely on the power of the two places in the northwest to resist the Qin army.

Sure enough, when the war progressed to the third month, the land of West End began to become precarious.

However, just when everyone in Dazhou thought that the Zhenxi Army was about to be unable to withstand the attack of the Qin Army, unexpectedly a mysterious army appeared on the battlefield of Zhenxi Pass.

This army is small in number, but it is well equipped and well trained.

It was also their arrival that forcibly breathed a sigh of relief to Zhenxiguan, which was on the verge of collapse, and made Zhenxiguan persevere.

After receiving the news, the whole Da Zhou looked sideways at it.

Everyone is very interested in the origin of this mysterious army that suddenly appeared.

But the helpless thing is that the battle ahead is tense at the moment, and all places are in a state of intense preparations for war. It is difficult for spies to move around for a while, and there is no way to investigate the origin of this mysterious army in the first place.

However, it hasn't waited for Da Zhou to fully recover.

The Qin army, which was still attacking cities and territories in the north, suddenly stopped their offensive for some reason.

This really made countless people feel unprepared. Taking advantage of this short window period, the Xingyue Army gathered in various towns in the Northland suddenly withdrew from the Northland on a large scale.

Even many soldiers of Zhenbei Army followed them and left the city.

At the same time, the Xingyue Army and a part of the Zhenbei Army issued a shocking announcement to the entire Northwest and Northwest.

"Looking through the history books, I have heard that the mission of the army is to be loyal to the country, and that the destiny of soldiers is to die in battle, but I have never heard that officials and kings are indifferent to seeing millions of people in dire straits! "

"There is an old saying that if the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then his ministers will treat him like his heart; if he treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will treat him like the people of his country;

"Now, the imperial court wants to use the strength of the Xingyue Army, the Zhenbei Army, and the Zhenxi Army to fight against the entire thirty-two continents of Qin. We have more than enough energy but not enough power. We have repeatedly asked the imperial court for reinforcements, but the imperial court and Zhou Tianzi watched helplessly. Witnessing the tens of millions of people and millions of troops fighting the Qin army in the two places in the northwest without sending a single soldier..."

"This kind of country where people and gods are angry, heaven and earth are punishing each other, such a ruthless and ruthless monarch who has no people... is not worthy of the loyalty of millions of troops on the frontier, nor is it worthy of the tax offerings of tens of millions of people in the Northwest and Northwest!"

"The Northland is about to become the battlefield for the Qin army to attack on a large scale. We feel sorry for all our compatriots. We will open up a road for everyone to escape to the land of Xizhen. As long as there are Zhenxi Army and Xingyue Army in one day, the land of Xizhen The Human Emperor Pass in the desert will never be broken!"

After this news came out.

The Xingyue Army and a small part of the Zhenbei Army began to withdraw from the northern battlefield in an orderly manner.

Five of the twelve cities in the Northland have been occupied by the Qin army, and 50% of the remaining seven cities have also chosen to evacuate.

For this day, You Aotian has actually already been mentally prepared.

He is a pure soldier, and a traditional soldier.

The glory in his heart made You Aotian unable to accept surrender without a fight.

Therefore, when Li Yueming found him, You Aotian was very free and easy, saying that all the soldiers in Zhenbei Army who are willing to evacuate can evacuate with Xingyue Army, but he will not leave the Northland that he has guarded all his life.

He lived for most of his life, and he also stood upright for most of his life.

Unwilling to go to the end and lose the backbone of being a fighter.

Beidi, Zhenbei City.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar apprentice in front of you, You Aotian's expression was quite complicated, he sighed and said with relief: "Just because I stay here doesn't mean that what you did was wrong, in fact, many times, many things are not at all Right or wrong, you can find a way out for the people of the Northland, it is the luck of the people of the Northland, and it is also the luck of me, You Aotian..."

"Aside from wielding knives and guns in my life, what I am most grateful for is that I was able to train you outstanding disciples in my later years! Go, I hope you can treat the Northern Army and the millions of people in the Northland kindly in the future!"

"I will stay here and stand on the last post for Beidi!"

Regarding this, Li Yueming was silent for a long time, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Silently turned and left.

News travels very fast.

After receiving the declaration, the people of Northland hesitated for a moment.

Among the imperial court and the Xingyue Army, they finally chose the Xingyue Army.

After so many years, the Xingyue Army has already established a good political reputation in the north. Compared with the imperial court that does not regard them as human beings, the Xingyue Army that has guarded them for decades is obviously more trustworthy.

So many people packed their bags one after another, and under the guidance of the Xingyue Army, they moved towards the western frontier.

The news spread to Haojing.

In a rage, Zhou Tianzi smashed half of the palace with a slap, and roared: "Li Yueming, this evil beast, I treat you well. I didn't expect it to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

Although the actions of the Xingyue Army were not clearly stated, they had already completely chosen to betray Da Zhou.

He was sure that the Zhenxi army would not surrender.

But they didn't expect that Xingyue Army would stand up and stab Da Zhou at such a critical moment.

The most puzzling thing for Zhou Tianzi is that the main battlefield between the Qin army and the Great Zhou is in the western frontier, and there are obviously only more than 300,000 Qin troops in the north, although the Xingyue army and Zhenbei army can cope with the 300,000 Qin troops. The army is under a lot of pressure, but it's not to the point where you need to raise your hands and surrender, right?

However, Zhou Tianzi soon knew why Li Yueming had to evacuate the Northland.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to punish Li Yueming, a guy who blatantly betrayed him.

It's really incomprehensible to hate him if he isn't caught and skinned and cramped to light the sky lanterns.

But at this moment, Qin Jun, who was still fighting bloody battles in the Western Territory, suddenly appeared outside the Shiwan Mountain in the Northern Territory of the Great Zhou.

The mighty Qin army of millions moved like lightning, passed through the twelve cities in the north that had long been unguarded, and led the army to attack Fulong Pass.

In just three days, nearly 100,000 soldiers of Fulong Pass were killed or injured!

The entire Fulong Pass was almost flattened by the Qin army's iron cavalry. Fortunately, at the last moment, the large number of dragon and tiger troops stepped up, barely suppressing the Qin army's first round of attack.

After hearing this news, Zhou Tianzi was not even angry anymore.

I just feel cold all over my body.

If he still doesn't know what happened by this time, it can only be said that he is too stupid to be the emperor.

No wonder Li Yueming was so courageous and dared to challenge him openly.

It turned out that it had already been calculated.

So more than ten years ago, Li Yueming, who was only a teenager, had already opened up with Qin Jun and the spirit beasts in the extremely cold snow mountain?

Rao is looking back at the review now, Zhou Tianzi still feels a little unbelievable.

...

In the distant Beibinghe Town, the expression on Li Yueming's face was not at all relaxed.

After a short discussion between him and Wang Ziwei, he formulated such a plan to protect himself.

The Zhenxi army obviously would not surrender to the Qin army. They would rather die in battle and shed their last drop of blood, and they would never leave the land of Xizhen and Zhenxiguan for half a step.

This is the basis for the Zhenxi Army to live and work. If it is lost, the soul of the Zhenxi Army will no longer exist.

But the fact that the Zhenxi Army can't surrender doesn't mean that the Xingyue Army can't surrender either!

The reason why the 100,000 mountains could not pass through the millions of Qin troops was that the agreement was reached under Li Yueming's intentional control.

As long as Li Yueming wanted to, he could let the little fox draw a path for the Qin army, allowing the mighty Qin army to bypass Zhenxi Pass and enter the Great Zhou from the north.

As Li Yueming's strongest leg.

The little fox in the extremely cold snow mountain is the basis for the Xingyue Army to survive in the gap between the Qin Army and the Great Zhou for a long time.

Now this big thick leg has reached the most critical moment to play a role.

Li Yueming first contacted the Ninth Prince and told him part of the plan.

After so many years of consolidation, the Nine Princes now have a very high status in the Qin army.

The previous generation of Qin Jun had already been in a semi-retired state a few years ago.

Nowadays, most of the military affairs of the Qin army are controlled by the nine princes.

From another point of view, the Ninth Prince has already gained an absolute advantage in this battle for the crown prince. If there is no accident, he will be able to succeed to the throne in a short time.

After hearing the news about Li Yueming, the Ninth Prince was naturally overjoyed.

If there is a choice, Qin Jun is of course unwilling to gnaw at the hard bones of the Zhenxi Army, which has teeth and not much meat.

So the two hit it off.

The Ninth Prince asked the Qin army to leave an army to pretend to attack Zhenxiguan, and on the other hand, let Wang Ziwei and the Zhenxi army cooperate to perform the illusion of being attacked by the main force of the Qin army, so as to cover up the fact that the main force of the Qin army was marching towards Shiwanda Mountain. fact.

He and the Qin army agreed on an attack time, and before this time arrived, as many innocent people as possible would be evacuated from the Northland.

And through the existence of the little fox, a non-aggression agreement was agreed with Qin Jun.

Once the Qin Army points the finger at Beibinghe Town and the Xingyue Army, Li Yueming will ask the little fox to cut off the supply line of the Qin Army. At that time, the more than one million Qin Army may be able to forcefully return to Hangu Pass with their strong military strength.

However, the plan to attack the Great Zhou is estimated to be completely ruined.

After several operations, with the unremitting efforts of Li Yueming and Wang Ziwei, they finally temporarily eliminated the impending disaster for the Xingyue Army and Zhenxi Army.

But now, what troubled Li Yueming the most was not Qin and Dazhou, but the large number of people in the Northland. How to resettle so many refugees with their families and families was definitely a matter that required Li Yueming to use eighteen martial arts.

Li Yueming had mobilized all the food that Beibinghe Town and Xingyue Army could mobilize, and the Zhenbei Army and Zhenxi Army had more or less provided food.

However, it is still about half short of the food needed by the refugees on the way to migrate.

No matter how high Li Yueming's politics and tactics are.

There is also no way to create food out of thin air that can support the survival of tens of millions of people.

Therefore, this long journey of relocation was destined to be extremely difficult from the very beginning. Before the turmoil completely started, Li Yueming still needed to settle this hot potato.

Only in this way, the Xingyue Army, who has completely grasped the right time, place and people, can be invincible on the next vast stage.
